Play the PlayStation version instead.

thanks for the most predictable post possible, moving on...

Based retard

>>6192981
Just play the game, if you want to blog about it do it after.

>>6193019
N64 one has no loading times. OWNED.

>>6192981
If it’s your very first RE playthrough, you could play on easy. My best tip would be to not hoard too much ammo (you don’t really need to; RE2 on easy gives you more than enough resources), and always keep at least 3 empty spaces when leaving a safe room box.

RE2 is already the easiest game in the series so don't play it on easy.

>>6193072

>N64 one has no loading times. OWNED.
i rather prefer have loading times than play with the awful N64 controller

>>6193068
well desu I did play it for a bit and kept dying or running out of ammo, I'm not here to blog

>>6193127
there's nothing wrong with using the N64 controller, just use the dpad

>>6193130
You're not supposed to kill every zombie you come across, dodge most of them when its possible.

>>6193138
ok got it, that was probably my issue.

>>6193072
i'll take slower load times over gimped audio and worse textures.

>>6193159
>gimped audio
adds charm imo, besides I don't need to hear the atrocious voice acting with crystal clarity
>>6193159
>worse textures.
literally can't tell unless you're playing on a flat screen, which you shouldn't be.

>>6193162
yeah, nice cope.

>>6193168
enjoy your load times I guess!

>>6193172

>>6193019
There's practically no reason to play the original playstation version. N64 has a couple of exclusive traits, on top of no loading times.

>>6193872
thank you for this

N64 apologist's tears taste almost as good as shmup trannies tears

>>6193872
nintentoddlers really have to go far to prove that the n64 isnt a shit system with a 80s scifi movie set controller and >nogaems

>>6193892
>>6193893
>>6193902
you make this into a console war thing lol.
I'm not into that, just saying that if you're going to play RE2, vanilla PS1 is the least desirable one.

>>6193872
Fuck is "First Person" Controls? First Person Controls are tank controls.

Set the setting to surround and set your receiver to pro logic mode.

>>6193905
you're not fooling anyone. cope and dilate

>>6193893
Trannies don’t play shmups, they play JRPGs more.

>>6194091
>noooo! not my 5th gen console warinos!!!

>>6194109
he says as he gossips about literal trannies in his threads lmao: https://desuarchive.org/vr/thread/6181785/#q6184074 why don't i see that happening in RPG ones? to me it looks like shumps attract the same amount of trannies as speedrunning since both are very similar activities.

>>6194287
Jarpigs are depressed faggots through everytime ive posted this people admit to it

>>6192981
The game is really easy already, and the canon scenario order is Claire A, Leon B.

>>6194318
It's true. If I had a good life I wouldn't waste my time on games and fake romances with fake characters.

>>6194163
is this you?
>>6193072

>>6193159
The resolution when played with the expansion pack is far superior then the psx version the animations were made smoother and the 3d models. Also supports dolby surrond sound and has a higher sample rate then psx.

>>6193872
cool, thanks for that. makes me want to find my old dreamcast and download re2, makes me curious as a huge fan of just the ps1 release.

>>6196030
wow, "smoother" animations and the model topology is worse. i won't deny that the port was a technical marvel, but the psx version is better. i'd also like to point out that the load times were only reduced by 2.4 seconds (not really "load free") and some of cutscenes weren't included at all.

>>6196084
I'm not that guy you're replying to and I don't even know what model topology is, but the face on the PSX model... kek!!

>>6196084
Still higher res and surround sound also look at how much more blocky the psx model is

>>6196084
>>6196084
Still higher res and surround sound also look at how much more blocky the psx model is the gun has better textures as well

>>6196091
face is pretty funny looking, yeah. no point in explaining to you why it looks that way since you're just a brainlet.
>>6196120
yep, you're retarded.

>>6196084

>>6196151
nice, run out of arguments, call people dumb. I know why the face looks like that, it's the same reason PS1 textures all look warped as fuck.

>>6196167
he is dumb. i proved him wrong. not my fault he can't get his head out his ass and look at the game as a whole instead one or two technical things that are "better" in the N64 version. what else is there to say?

>>6196084
Psx is so pixelated

>>6196176
so you can choose a few technical things to justify your preference for one version, but others can't do that? Why not just shut up and enjoy the games at this point, geeze, this thread is ruined.

>>6194345
No.
This thread is sad though, console warriors really need the rope.

>>6193893
>trannies
You have to go back to /v/. There's no reason they should live in your head rent free here

>>6194091

>>6193147
I think there's, bar the bosses, at most 3 zombies you probably want to kill. Dodging is the way to play RE.

>>6193893

>crisp textures vs shit blur
lmao cope
>>6196184
he was lying out of his ass and i called him out. enjoy what you want, but don't lie to fit your faggot consolewar narrative.

>>6196285
You're the one who posted this? >>6196084

N64 has some exclusive stuff that can't be found in any other version.
PSX version isn't worth playing nowadays when there's so many other options with better tech, or better content.

>>6196293
yes, and? i pledge no allegiance to any console. in fact, re2 on the n64 was the first gen 5 game i ever owned. psx version is still better, but only marginally. pc version is superior to all. blow me, fag.

>>6196296
Backgrounds are low res as shit. Later ports bumped resolution but made them blurry and the 3D models look terrible with the additional detail. PSX version has the most coherent visuals and most soul.

>>6196443
>psx version is still better
>>6196573
>PSX version has the most coherent visuals and most soul.
Why are playstation fanboys like this? It's not like you're devoid of exclusives. It won't hurt to have better options to play, even if it's on a rival console you hate.

>>6196443
>psx version is still better, but only marginally.
how so? loading times, no exclusive content to make up for it, and of course, the wobbling trademark PSX textures.
I dunno if PC is the best version though, I'm partial to Dreamcast myself, but between PSX and N64, I'd rather play N64, if only for its exclusive features.

>>6196597
i like how you didn't read any other fucking part of my post. thanks for providing just how retarded and faggy you are to everyone.
>>6196601
read my other posts, i'm not going through the rigamarole again. costumes are gay, but that's just my opinion.

>>6196624

guess i'm the retard for phoneposting.

>>6196624
>read my other posts
I did, you didn't really provide any reason why the psx version is better.
>costumes are gay
I wasn't referring to the costumes, rather the randomizer mode, and the surround sound.
Anyway, not saying PSX version is outright bad, but I don't see a reason to play it in 2020. Or in the year 2000 for that matter.
All RE2 versions are playable though (well, other than game.com version)

>>6196601
Wobbling texturez added a lot of soul

>>6196635
>5th gen
>soul

>>6196628
it looks better (crisp textures, better UV mapping, better model topology), has better sfx and dialogue, and isn't missing cutscenes. i still enjoy the n64 version, don't get me wrong.

>>6196689
>it looks better (crisp textures, better UV mapping, better model topology)
This is questionable as the PSX has a lot of trouble with textures.
>has better sfx and dialogue
N64 has the surround effect though, which is exclusive to it
>i still enjoy the n64 version, don't get me wrong.
Yeah as I said, all RE2 versions are playable, but my argument is that N64 version offers exclusive features, like the randomizer. PSX version, I don't find a reason to play it when there's many other better options available. If I really care about visuals, I wouldn't play either PSX or N64.

All the versions are fine, if you had a select console back in the day there is no inherently "bad" version. Does the N64 version make compromises? Yes, but that was sort of inevitable given the limitations. You still got the whole game besides one or two reused cutscenes.

The only misstep is if you had a Games.com because you were poor and/or your parents hated you.

>>6196695
it's not questionable, though. look at the comparison picture i posted. here's a UV map comparison of both versions too. the weapons seem to be textures better in the n64 version which seems silly.

>>6196695
also, it might have a surround sound effect, but the quality of the sound is borderline muffled garbage.

>>6196764
It's questionable because said textures look wonky due to PSX's problems with texturing, as seen on Leon's face here: >>6196084
Anyway, again: It's not about which one looks better, both N64 and PSX look worse than the later ports of the game. But at least the N64 offers some exclusive features, PSX doesn't.

>>6192981
N64 has blood color options, ex files, randomizer, and exclusive costumes. Also the game is on one cartridge so that's a big plus. It doesn't have extreme battle mode like the ps1 version though.

>>6192981
It starts out challenging but it's actually the easiest of the classic trilogy, unless you play the dreamcast or pc ports on Nightmare Difficulty. Don't look up where anything is. Figure it out on your own, it will feel a lot more satisfying if you make it to the end.

>>6196208

It's not even funny. When reality is worse than the memes, its just sad.

>>6196597

I'm not sure if it's only the PS1 version, but there is a cheat code for infinite ammo
First time I finished the game it was with this cheat, made things easier

>>6198503
you can get infinite ammo rocket launcher, gatling gun and submachine gun on arrange mode iirc. however, if you equip any of them you will automatically get an F ranking upon completion

>>6198497
>n64 is the worst controller EVur meme
sorry but your whole post is invalidated right there.

>>6196764
They redrew his face. Why? Is the model really that much different?

You chose the best version. Without tank controls you don't need to worry too much about difficulty. The awful tank controls make it more difficult than it had to be.

>>6198553
You're right, the Wii and Switch controllers just might be worse, but I'm keeping it /vr/.

>>6198575
>playing the game in a non intended way to make it easier
>game is already easy as fuck
Holy shit, the absolute state of nintensoys

>>6198629
I don't even own an N64. Its just easier.

>>6198624
>Stright from /v/: the post
I'm sorry I know it's really hard for you to think outside of your little ideology but the dreamcast controller is objectively the worst controller of all mainstream consoles ever made. N64 controller had shit durability especially if you play roughly with the analog stick, but besides that there are zero problems with it.

>>6198731
The only issue with the DC controller is the cord position.

>>6198497
>>6198624
So you're just mad that the game is on a Nintendo system, we get it, console warrior-chan.
The thing is, N64 version at least offers unique features, if you really care about stuff like visuals, sound, you play the later versions, not the 5th gen ones.
PSX is still the overall most vanilla one, not worth your time nowadays with many better alternatives.

For what it's worth, Hideki Kamiya (who usually dislikes ports of his own games that aren't made by him) was impressed by the N64 port.

>>6198749
The PS1 version has everything intact whereas the DC version is missing some sound effects and music and the PC version is a pain in the ass to get up and running. Also, it’s the original. And on this board that counts for something.

>>6198745
oh ya, and I forgot to mention, and the feel of literally every button, the dpad, and the analog stick, and how the controller feels to hold. Besides that it's great!!

>>6198761
Cope, ‘toddler.

>>6198764
are you arguing that the cord is in a good place? that the adult in you supports retarded decisions?

>>6198767
>backpedaling

>>6198764
How are those cope? You know it's true, you just don't have any arguments, fanboy.

>>6198758
>Also, it’s the original. And on this board that counts for something.
Fair enough. It's not that it's wrong to play the original, but there's also nothing wrong to play the N64 ports, or the DC port.

>>6198776
Yeah the N64 port is cool. Randomizer is good for replays.

>>6193872
PC version with rebirth mod is the best way to play RE2

>>6200083
>rebirth mod
what does it do

>>6200173

>>6200173

Makes the win98 version run on newer versions of Windows with higher res, that kinda stuff.

>>6193130
Retard zoomer

>>6196764
It's also worth noting that many PS1 games used higher resolution textures than you could actually see due to the resolution. So you might have a really large texture crammed onto a small surface and that detail is only visible in emulators.

Because the N64 version was so tight on space, I wouldn't be surprised if they just pruned down the textures to what was actually visible in that res. I've got both the PS1 and N64 versions of RE2 and the detail on the character textures looks virtually identical on a CRT.

Only real problem with character textures on N64 is that there is a bit less enemy variety, with more zombies using the same set of textures.

Overall I think the character models look better on N64 than PS1 because the shimmering, clipping and warping is pretty obvious on PS1.

>>6193019
This

>>6193127
>n64 controller bad
You've been memed.

>>6193872
Whoever wrote this is wrong on several things. N64 audio samples are of lower quality and the textures even by emulation filtering do look considerably worse.
You should stick with the improved PC version here:
http://appleofeden.de-doc.com/index.php/downloads/resident-evil-2-classic-rebirth/

>>6206625
>N64 audio samples are of lower quality
Voice samples, yes are lower. Music samples are higher quality.

>>6192981
Best Early version of RE 2, Especially if you have an RGB modded 64 like i do. Also, Randomizer. only superior versions are Dreamcast and Gamecube

>>6206637
>Voice samples, yes are lower. Music samples are higher quality.
Both are lower/worse quality and that was proven by Gemini. I'm not aware who made that image chart in the first place but he's wrong.

>>6206679
>that was proven by Gemini
Link to proof?

>>6206684
It was asked on Gemini's youtube videos here during a podcast he had of Dino Crisis 1, I don't recall which video was it but he debunked the theory that N64 as high quality audio or even re-arrange tracks.
The good things of the N64 are the EX files, the improved analogue controls and the Hunter cameo.

>>6206691
>he debunked the theory that N64 as high quality audio or even re-arrange tracks
Unless I hear it from myself I'm just going to take it to mean that he "debunked" that all of the audio sounded better. Which is true, the voices do sound worse.

Never heard this N64 has re-arrange track claim of yours though. Nobody else said it did?

>>6206695
You may believe whatever you want, the fact is that some random anonymous person made a chart full of false assumptions and people take it as a gospel.
Quite a few people think that the music was re-arrange specifically for the N64 which is also false. It isn't nor it does sound better.
